1) Message boards : Number crunching : Not Playing Nicely With Others (Message 64671) Posted 16 Jun 2016 by ewebster Post: I'm running two projects, Milkyway@Home and VirtualLHC@home. I'd like LHC to run all the time, and Milkyway to run on the rest of computer (I have an 8-core box, 16-core with hyperthreading, and an NVIDIA 980 GPU, on 64-bit Windows 10). I set the resource share for VirtualLHC to 300 and MilkyWay to 100, but no matter what, if there are ANY work units for MilkyWay, VirtualLHC never runs. I have read on forums "just let it go for a while, BOINC will balance it out after they both run." I just got back from a 10 day vacation and LHC didn't run once. I let MilkyWay drain, and LHC kicked in. After a day of running solo, I opened MW back up, and LHC is once again Waiting to Run. Any advice on how to force MilkyWay to let LHC have a couple of cores all the time? If I can't get it to play nicely I'll have to exit MW.
